Working WGA members make a lot of dosh. I think trying to make it sound like we're paid like teachers is a wrongheaded notion. It's nothing like being a teacher. When I'm doing a show, I stand in a room with a big board and a marker and try to get a roomful of profane wiseasses to focus and do their work. I assign them projects, then when they turn in their work I go over it with a red pen.
That came out wrong.

I used to tell my mother that I wouldn't be mad if she cheated on my father, that actually it would explain a whole hell of a lot, but that's not so funny now that my stepfather ran off with somebody. But she understood, anyway, and said "I'm sorry. He really is your dad."
NoiseDesign:
I made that wish about my sister more than once. In my case in turned out to be true.

It's like a Disney dream. Except you got a kilt and really nice single malt in the end instead of a prince.

Monique in Heroes (spoilery for the 11/12/07 ep):
Dude. The only way they could have made the Adam and Peter meet-up scene slashier was to have Adam ride Peter piggy-back style through that wall.
